  • Hi Jimindigo and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I just noticed that you're starting your treatment tomorrow so I just wanted to wish you good luck and share some information we have about radiotherapy.

    I'm sure some of our members will be along to share their advice and experiences of this treatment with you soon but our very helpful and supportive cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040 (Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m) if you'd like to have a quick chat with them about this as well.

    Kind regards,

  • hello, jimindigo

     

    this procedure is nothing to worry about.    I did not feel any pain at all.    I wonder why you do not trust your doctor ?   if you have a valid reason, why not ask for a second opinion.

     

    I had a few weeks of radio- after chemo, herceptin jab, etc etc.   in 2014, and I am still here !

     

    relax , the procedure is simple.
